Saskatoon Police Service (SPS) traffic units were busy from Friday night through the weekend.
According to a tweet from traffic officers, a check stop on Friday netted police one impaired driver, one arrest on an arson warrant, and one driver who was previously suspended for impaired driving. Police said the individual had four previous tickets.
That same driver also allegedly approached the checkpoint at 30 km/h over the speed limit in an uninsured vehicle.
That same sobriety checkpoint had officers surprised when a 16-year-old on a non-street legal dirt bike passed through the check stop, according to SPS. Neither the driver nor the passenger was wearing helmets, police said.
Then on Saturday night, officers said they caught two speeders in the same area at Highway 16 and Zimmerman Road.
